Fiorentina failing the challenge to win the Serie A Week 31 game against Sassuolo on Saturday 17 April 2021 at the Mapei Stadium in Sassuolo, Italy. The victory helps Sassuolo to climb towards the top 6 position. Chaos is for Fiorentina getting closer to the relegation zone.
- Sassuolo have won four of the previous 15 in Serie A against Fiorentina (5N, 6P), all in the second round. Three of Sassuolo’s last five home games against Fiorentina in Serie A have ended in a draw (complete one win each in the set). Sassuolo won the last league match against Benevento: the neroverdi have not had two consecutive Serie A successes since October 2020 (three in that case). Fiorentina have only won one of their last eight Serie A games under the management of Giuseppe Iachini (3N, 4P): 3-2 against Udinese last October.
Fiorentina opening the score in the 32nd minute. It is Giacomo Bonaventura to defeat Sassuolo goalkeeper Andrea Consigli with a left footed shot in the top left corner.
